Vintage cards are such a pleasure to create, they would be my favourite style, I always refer to it as very 'kind' with it's distressed lines and muted shades.
Soft tones feature in this card, using the Penny Black Inc harmony cling stamp for the background, this image has been cut using the Spellbinders™ A-2 Matting Basics B Nestabilities®and the Grand Calibur® Machine
and an adorable Crafty Individuals Seven Cheeky Songbirds image for the center, lightly coloured using Tsukineko Memento Markers, I love this image - it is the first time I have used it,but definitely won't be the last - infact the whole site is divine, their images appeal to me greatly!
Finishing off with Want2Scrap bling and pearls, lace and Mulberry Roses - a little bit nostalgic and totally easy.

Opus Gluei - Glitz, Glamour, Bring on the Bling
Penny Black and More - Love is in the Air
